Matrix still doesn't have a multi account client with threads.
I don't mind Matrix, but every time I bring this up to a hard core Matrix defender to how the clients are lacking, they don't have much to counter.
I'm writing a new Matrix client that's focused specifically on being a Discord-like dead simple experience for professional people -- it's under GPLv3 and written in pure Dart
Probably will have the first actual release in one to two months -- please tell me what you would like in terms of features so I can shove it into my already massive backlog
A client that is basically a ripoff of Telegram would be ideal for me, for what it's worth
Main features I like are replies, reactions to messages (also double tap to react with a default emoji), and that view where you can open a chain of replies like it's its own conversation (I'm assuming this is what is meant by "threading"/"threads")
Lastly, maybe the uncompressed and compressed photo/video options if that's not already a thing
If it had the above I would probably like Discord style too
Most of that is already covered by an existing Matrix client called FluffyChat too, if you want something right now
And sure, I mean I never saw any usage in threading but I guess some people really do be liking their threads
Fluffychat doesn't support threads at the moment
Would quick circle video messages be possible to implement on the matrix?
Ummm.... Well it's strictly possible, might need some mighty hacking tho...
Being able to support threading would be nice, a lot of clients don't have that feature, spaces too would also be nice. Also the E2E encryption is a must since a lot of Matrix communication have it enabled by default.
Gajim, Dino, Conversations support multi-account clients. Threading doesn’t tend to work the same way tho.
Indeed
